Does a paint ball hurt?

Question

Does a paint ball hurt?

Answer 1

Just a quick sting.

I'm used to being hit since the style of play for me is 3-5 shots at less than 20'.  When your in the intense fighting, your adrenalin is pumping and you barely feel the hits.  I've been shot in the fingers and barely felt it.

Answer 2

it does when it hits a soft spot like yer nuts.

other than that, its completely tolerable.

most paintball places have limits on how powerful the guns used are, so they wont really damage you.

Answer 3

naa, the only paintballs that hurt are the ones that are shot at 8 feet away (dont ask...) or the cheap wal mart paint that doesnt break. At a paintball field they make sure your velocity is below 300fps so it doesnt hurt at all.

Answer 4

IF ur are standing still and your friends are shooting you for the  fun of it can hurt but in a game the adrenaline is rushing so much you don't feel it

Answer 5

It depends on the range 0-50 yards it is like a bee sting but goes away in like 8 seconds. 50-100 it is like a pinch. 100-200 yards is unlikely to hit u but if it does it feels like nothing.

You really have to pay attention. If you have never got shot ask someone to shoot u at like 25 yards just to fell the sting.

Answer 6

it will hurt but after the 2nd shot your used to it.

Answer 7

it hurt me pretty badly. i was playing at war paint and got shot 4 times in the back. it was hard to breath it hurt so bad. i guess he was fairly close.

also i got hit some bad spots that day. the fingers, knee, top of head, and back.

its not that bad, just avoid getting shot close up, and try to be cautios with body parts that can get hurt more easily. (knee, top of head, fingers, etc)

too bad its summer you cant where extra layers, youll overheat way to fast.

Answer 8

It hurts a little bit, but number one, you get used to it, number two, you wear a sweatshirt, and if you have a spare binder, you can cut off peices of it and glue or duct tape it to the inside of your sweatshirt and your friends won't even know. I know a couple people who do it. But if you get caught by your friends, you will never live it down.
